I could relate to your closing statement. I've wondered if the cost of there not being another McKenna style "stoned ape" period is that climate change leads to further mental health challenges, and civility becomes fragile due to scarcity and uncertainty. It may sound morbid, but I use plant medicine to help accept that climate change will be disruptive and destructive. I started using them that way after reading about some of the studies using mushrooms for end of life patients. Given where society is currently (at least in the US), we need a collective shift to think beyond old paradigms and beliefs to tackle future challenges. Psychedelics can facilitate such a shift.
I had 2 negative experiences with shrooms in the past 2 years, took it in an unfamiliar setting with strangers. This weekend I took it with my BF as my trip sitter and let me tell you: I saw the most beautiful things inside me. I've been depressed since I was 11, I didn't remember what it felt like to not hate myself. And now I can say with pride that I do love myself. I saw light inside of me, compassion, hope, things I had no idea were a part of me. I have found I am not only my dark side, and I'm thankful to psilocybin. I 100% am not the same person anymore...and that's wonderful.
Good for you .. I understand .. same happened to me a long long time ago and the positive changes that occurred is too long to describe here . It makes me happy to hear others find better stuff for themselves that may not ever have happened otherwise
Just imagine if this was taught in schools rather than the blanket statements about all recreational drugs being awful. This along with having a safe, legal way for individuals to experience psychedelics would be revolutionary. I really hope this can happen in my lifetime and I wonder how I can help bring about this change. Living in a population of people with greater openness can only be an improvement to everyone’s wellbeing. Really great video thank you!
I agree 💯, natural medicines have healed me more than any pharmaceuticals! Thx to brave people like julianne I don’t feel so alone...still feel like I don’t fit in anywhere even more as I naturally flow to evolve.
Once psychedelics make it into mental health treatment, and heal people as much in 1 session as in 10 years of talking with a therapist, the results will speak for themselves and it will start rolling like a snowball. Controversial to say, but I think psychedelics is the only thing that can save humanity from all the self-centered bullshit we're currently stuck in, like how else are you going to make 8 billion people aware of the ego and all the pitfalls, make everyone meditate for 1 year with monks?
I had what I called manageable anxiety but it got worse with the pandemic. My cousin who suffers from PTSD suggested I try micro dosing. All the benefits you discuss happened and I’m so grateful I tried it. My cousin saved me. You have as well! I’m an Asian woman in my 30’s and mental health is rarely discussed in my community, I’m sure you know this as well. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I’m so happy I found your videos!
Hello Lin, two things that worked well for a bout of anxiety i got recently are: - ensuring you get around 4500mg of potassium through fruit and vegetables every day (most people are deficient, and it can cause anxiety and tachycardia). After a week i was noticeably calmer. - try box breathing for 10 minutes, it removes around 10-20 bpms for my heart. all the best!

@@garysimone4977 I was obsessed about death, and would think about it on the daily, i would endlessly ruminate about bad experiences to the point of starting to weigh the pros and cons of continuing to live, i was a very angry person too. With the mushrooms, most of that decreased a lot. Dieing doesnt worry me as much, i feel that life is worth living, and i think i worry less about things that are not important.
As someone who grew up in the hood I can definitely say that psychedelics will for sure change your perspective thus a personality change but only for your own betterment as a person. Peace and love everyone ✌🏽
@@nmania3 you will see that there is a new side to you a more empathetic, understanding and loving side. This will broaden your perspective on life. You will no longer only see the world as it revolves around you but you will see that everyone is apart of a bigger picture and we are all uniquely significant to that design we call life. One is all, All is one. Peace and love ✌🏽
There was definetely a before, and after with magic mushrooms. I was contemplating the pros and cons of continuing with my life, and was obsessed with death, but after doing magic mushrooms, i stopped ruminating, and was able to process a significant amount of my past trauma.
Really happy this worked for you! As someone who has had (and sometimes still have) the same thoughts, I know how difficult it is to keep going some days. It's also difficult to admit it and talk about it openly. I'm really glad I read your comment, because I'm hoping to experience a similar outcome with my upcoming "adventure", and this gives me hope. I hope you're still doing well, and continue to get better every day. Thank you for sharing - doing so may very well have saved someone. 🙂
@@jameslogan9859 Hi James, lockdown has been difficult but otherwise still keeping well thank you. I hope it brings you relief as well, make sure you research it and understand its risks (which for most are minor).
Totally get what you are saying and I have started to notice a shift in my outlook since micro dosing the past three weeks. I hope to continue to grow emotionally and also break away from my food addiction and isolation.
You'll get there. I know it. :) I think my next video will be on my 1 year microdosing update! I feel like I'm a completely different person now. Oh boy!

This is exactly how I feel but you explain it so much better that I could. This is how much I changed. Just over a year a ago,I watched a film called the game changers ( highly recommend anyone to watch), and as someone who’s always been interested in health and my appearance I thought I’d give it a go. It was something that I was going to find extremely difficult as I’ve never enjoyed vegetables, but went for it anyway. I’ve stuck to it and since starting my microdose I find I feel so much more compassion to animals it actually makes me upset, that others won’t take the time to watch the film, because they literally know they will see things differently. I’m not saying for one minute I want people to change there diets, but instead just know the facts, And make your own decision. I feel like I’ve had that pill from the matrix and woken up. I apologise for my bad grammar and spelling it’s never been a strong point. All the best
same thing happened to me and my husband after working with mushrooms and watching that film! I feel a connection to animals, a Oneness that I never did before.
I definitely do. I'm not sure how old you are, but it looks we have about the same age. I say that because many discoveries you share about your own life seem aligned with discoveries I've been making here in my life. I'm sure many other followers would corroborate that perception with regards to their own experiences as they grow too. It's quite comforting to find people with equivalent backgrounds and compatible views about how things could be and how psychedelics fit in that schema. I've been through a lot of ups and downs with depression and, to make a long story short, psychedelics became a kind of last resort for me, together with a whole strategy that includes meditation, ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, journaling, psychotherapy, physical exercises and more. Lasting, significant, positive personality change is where the mushrooms come in, as I hope. Your content and influence have been quintessential in my quest for self-actualization. Thanks a lot and, once again, congrats on your video!
Oh wow.. thank you for this comment. I'm honored and humbled. Also guest... I'm in my late 20's ;) haha. But based on the accounts I've read from other people.. it seems the themes we learn on psychedelics are timeless. I also echo your sentiment about having a holistic approach to mental health.. I also meditate and practice intermittent fasting. Did psychotherapy for 4 years as well. Wishing you the best on your journey. You sound like you're already pretty well established on it.
❤Your both so❤beautifully so eloquent and articulate the vocabulary I understand everything you say in an energetic level first tho ❤that’s where it’s at frequency ❤healing the I’ll is absolutely what needs to happen but first ourselves
I personally come from a very traumatic childhood filled with loads and loads of abuse and until i took psychedelic's i didn't even know i could have any other perception than what i was already locked into. Psychedelic's have opened me up to what i am now and i would never change anything that has ever occured in my life. Thanks again for your video's and your insight that you have given people through your channel! 🙏💜 so much love 🤗
@@RESISTAGE magic mushrooms are also legal now in Oakland California, and maybe soon in Washington DC, if the leaders with their heads up their asses accept the majority votes.
Hi Julianne. First off I just want to say how much I appreciate you, the education and personal experiences that you provide to our world wide community. I’ve never been a person that liked the idea of taking pills. And of course I have taken prescription pills for my mental health prescribed by my doctor for my depression and anxiety. But it always bothered me. And fast forward in life when I became a nurse, I saw what addiction and drugs can do to people and the negative affects of it all. Holistic healing and natural resources have always been a interest to me since discussing them in nursing school. Because of past experiences in my life that have left scaring, pain, and hurt and a feeling that I have lost a part of me that I miss and desperately want back, I made the decision to try psychedelic mushrooms. Your journey, the research and information you’ve given has truly been an inspiration to me and has given me the courage to take this step. I have told a couple of very close friends who I trusted and thought would support me in this, but it didn’t go well with them. I explained to them the safety of this method and that this wasn’t some method of getting high. I explained this was a method to try and possibly regain a part of me that I lost and possibly gain more. Maybe look at life in ways I never have. I have never been a person that has done street drugs. I’ve never even smoke cigarettes. It just surprised me that when I mentioned I wanted to try this, my support in life abandoned me and treated me like I was this druggy trying to get high and escape life or somehow take the easy way out. So again I appreciate you and the education you have passed on.
Thank you so much for these videos. I just started microdosing and it’s going really well for me so far. Only been 3 days but yesterday specifically I felt really care-free, less anxious and much less depressed.
I am so glad I found this channel - you are articulate and speak from the heart, which is wonderful. I have become so disillusioned with all of our institutions - they are all deeply corrupt and are not going to reform themselves. I think you are right - change needs to start with individuals and ripple out, and psychedelics definitely could play a role in that. Thanks so much for your insights.
I consider myself an experienced psychonaut but I'm somewhat new to microdosing. I'm enjoying your channel for the smart and peripheral perspective you bring to the subject. Mush Love!
I love your channel. When I was looking for online resources that reflect responsible use of psychedelics, yours became my favourite go to. While I don’t judge the usual pot head white guy with dreads’ experience or stories, you channel reflects what I’m looking for, which is a more vulnerable source that is likened to dr Michael Pollan and James Fadiman talks. Thank you so much and keep it up. 🙏🏼🎆
I laughed out loud when you said "usual pot head white guy with dreads" 😂 too funny. Thank you so much; reading this makes me feel encouraged. Michael Pollan and James Fadiman.. two individuals I deeply respect and admire. I've learned so much from them! I would never consider myself to be on their level (because I'm not).. but there is a role (I believe) in helping to disseminate the information they've shared. :)
I'm suffering from PTSD and depression and mental state is getting worse over the years. I'm totally not connected anymore. I think a treatment like this could help me but where do I start??? I don't know where to get them
This is a strong contender for best video currently viewable. Personally, I'm v feeling this, being so much the better for my own experiences. As global citizens, universal mental health is obviously primary to our rational concerns.
Contempt is indeed one of the worst perspectives to cultivate, and I think it is one that has practically taken over our society. Thank you for pointing that out.
Hey! You're super well spoken, and I like that you brought up openness and nuanced thinking. I think a lot of what hinders western society today is the tendency to think of things in extremes, which encourages fear, and also constricts open communication.
You are very eloquent and have a great talent of being able pass knowledge in a logical & easy-to-understand way. Keep up the good work Julianne! Thanks for the video. :)
I think this is a really good video and I wish RUclips would push it out more. But from the people who have seen it it seems as though most everyone liked it!
Thank you so much! Slow and steady wins the race :) I used to get so frustrated by my lack of progress here on RUclips... now I'm just enjoying the process. It lets me meet like-minded people like you!
@@JulianneKeu Please ride it out! You're putting quality content out and I remember when it was >1000 views. I told myself it was just a matter of time before it picks up because the content is consistent in quality.

Just found your channel! I love how your videos are organized, very clear and concise (can you tell I’m neurotic). Also a big advocate for psychedelics, it’s nice to find someone who can explain it efficiently without sounding like a huge hippie 💕
I think I left this message on a more recent video, but I LOVE what you’re doing! I’ll add, I’m finding myself sharing your videos with more and more people because they’re so relevant to so many different lives being lived. I appreciate you
It is amazing the change that we can experience and it's also interesting to me how many people resist that change. I work in the research community and it is fascinating to me how people who are so adept at change tend to be so good at those types of environments. You're an interesting person and I feel like we're on a similar time frame as far as our psychedelic experience. Having just discovered your videos I think that it's very fascinating hearing your perspective on these things.
Thank you so much! This means a lot coming from someone in the research community. To your point about people who are adept at change being so good in research environments... to me, being a researcher takes a certain level of risk-lovingness (if you will). It's the only way to do good work - to be willing to risk being proven wrong.
I totally feel you. I've had 3 experiences in my life with psychedelic. Mushrooms. Reggae on the river in Humboldt county was amazing. When I took this vacation I had some huge stress building up in my life and I was talked into going at the last minute. I just wanted to get out of town and had no idea what I was in for. It turned I to a spiritual vacation that I e never experienced anything like it before. I was open minded so I was open to it. Amazing. I sat by a river looking at the trees... reggae beats in the background.. slightly distant. I felt like the top of my head opened up and all my troubles... anxieties... disappointments... and all negativity just flowed away with the river. I had no idea I was being healed... or even needed to be. Until I was. I'm very excited for microdosing. It's in the mail.
Big 5 Openness correlates strongly with Jung's function of Intuition (for example in the MBTI). I find calling it Intuition instead of Openness is a lot clearer: it's a function of direct perception and a source of creativity, of seeing what otherwise can't be see with reason or the senses. Hence by opening that function you're able to solve inner problems which are otherwise inaccessible...That's Jung from the 1920's, imagine what he'd know if he had shrooms!
With all the videos out there I find yours one of the most helpful. It is simply precise, intelligent, pragmatic and to the point. You are most definitely not talking out of your ass (made me laugh, I wish I could talk so well!) In any case I agree with all the positive comments here and now have you on my list of keepers to follow. I have made the conscious decision to begin with microdosing soon as my emotional healing has come to a standstill. Keep sharing what you know, you do it very well. :)
I agree with you on everything you said about changing the world by healing individuals who are emotionally ill. Our society is the mirror of each one of us, so if we want to make the world a better place, we need to heal the people. I truly appreciate your content, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! You motivated me to try and make things move in my community concerning the stigma on psychedelics.
Your voice is so calming. I am so thankful I found your channel. I had no idea this was even a thing! Thank you so much for making these videos. I do have one question….Do you know if this type of therapy is dangerous for addicts?
Love your work so much. The clarity of your delivery and explanations makes it very easy to understand the information you are trying to convey. Also, your like/dislike ratio is off the chart. Nice. I've been able to process a huge amount of trauma since I discovered microdosing, and have found great relief from anxiety and depression. All the best!
@@mylesmattice9163 so is this something you have to do often or just once an awhile? Were you on meds before or during? Not being nosey but I am just curious because I am on meds and I have read that a person has to be off meds before microdosing because of the risk of serotonin syndrome.
You are really awesome and your thoughts and arguments in this video is something I can really relate and agree with. Keep doing what you're doing. Much love and appreciation from a swedish follower.
Can’t find ur reply to reply back too anymore. But yeah; I agree with what you just said about economics and monopoly busting. I assume that goes without saying because the only political ideology that suggests otherwise is anarcho-capitalist level libertarians which is pretty rare. Even the right wings favorite celebrity economists like Friedman, Sowell, Manikew, etc. all agree with what you said. You suggested you were annoyed at my comment. I’m super chill rn making (for me) fun conversation. Maybe you assumed a tone that wasn’t there which is why text is a crappy form of communication. Love the channel keep up the good work! You do such a good job of picking topics to cover. I’d love to hear about you do a 5 Me0 retreat!! Would be crazy. I can’t decide if I want to go on a Jhana Meditation retreat or a shroom/toad/ayahuasca type retreat first. I feel like I should learn metta too though so I can deal with anything that might pop up during a plant/toad ceremony. Learning the Jhanas is so awesome though I really want to focus on that. Wish I had more time to learn all the meditations haha.
Not only do you have a good soul but definitely you are a vessel that's being used by nature to convey the truth and the truth will set us free. I have become the greatest admirer and give my utmost respect of this fungi. This amazing fungi is our telephone line to the universe we can receive anything we can imagine thanks to this wonderful fungi. Sis keep up the greatest contribution to society. Love ya.
Just discovered your channel. Best MD resource I've found so far. Direct, useful, insightful. I've recently started on this journey and it's been one of the best things ever for me--your channel is a companion. Many thanks and greetings from Australia
You make a lot of very great points! I'm definitely on the same page and wish more people were open to ideas like this. Since my first experience with mushrooms it has changed my entire outlook and the way I engage with people.
That's wonderful! Thank you for the feedback :) If I may - have you taken a heroic dose? I would love to work my way up to it... Judging by everyone's accounts... it should be profound
@@JulianneKeu I haven't quite worked up the nerve yet...last few times at 3.5-4g dose I get lots of visual and audible effects. Visuals were ok but scary the first time and the sounds were overwhelming but interactive. Im thinking I have a very low tolerance maybe because my husband had none of that, he was just happy and easily amused. But for me, emotions had flavors, like remembering how your favorite pizza tastes. It was also very spiritually profound and euphoric near the end.
I have enjoyed your comments and shared experience on psychedelics immensely. I have had lifelong depression and though antidepressants have helped, they haven't changed my overall outlook. Everything you have said here and on other videos of yours has validated what I have read and surmised by myself. Thank you so much! If you're interested I can let you know how it works out for me. Thanks again.
I am so impressed with your content. My research into microdosing has led me to your information. My objectives are motivated by a desire to address some legacy issues I have experienced related to focus, creativity and symptoms of depression that I feel have been holding me back for decades. I have so much more potential "me" to unlock! I am about to embark on a new journey at a point in life when most might be considering dialing it back. I am energised by your intellect and first hand experiences.
Only recently discovered your RUclips channel because I was researching psilocybin and was pleasantly surprised by your content. It's very thorough and informative, not to mention well researched. So, thank you for your content and for your time, devotion and passion to furthering yours and our understanding of the positive impacts that psychedelics can and do have on people and communities.
Today, the mushroom compound is being used in clinical trials for end-of-life anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, addiction, eating disorders and other conditions with unprecedented success, and psilocybin-assisted therapy has been given FDA “breakthrough therapy” status as a treatment for depression.
I really resonate with your thoughts on focusing helping people heal to create change in society. My spiritual journey has brought me to this idea, before trying psychedelics (but my research and intuition on those, I agree they are a vital tool for healing the collective). Just started my macrodosing journey and glad to have found your channel :)
Excellent content and indeed a valuable contribution - I've recently begun a program of microdosing and the effects are profound. I'm hungry to learn more about this and then I stubbled upon your channel.
Thankyou. You are becoming the smartest, for lack of better word, person that i cherish for the content you provide. For me, you are getting on the level of Jordan Peterson.
You rock 💫 !! And you don’t sound out there with your evolved political/ social perspective. You have the same vision as a lot of people, famous and not famous. Bob Marley, Martin Luther King, the Dali Lama and a whole ton of people throughout history and time share the same ideas as you, so don’t be embarrassed. It’s humanitarianism 101 to see people and (animals too 🐹) as innately divine & valuable. It is difficult to see people angry and divided (because) I came into this world with my DNA set for idealism, and the world was not always that way, but many people were. I have had both life changing mystical experiences and life changing traumas, so thankfully have the understanding that if I’m under water, in my shadows and wounds, there is always a way back to my inner sanctuary. That is priority number #1, and my first job to have a positive impact on the world in a way that is true to my gifts and nature 🌱🍄🌱 Edit: (sorry for all the edits)
Great video, thank you for putting content like this out in the world. I believe that the human race would be much better off if we all were more educated and aware of the psychedelic. The commentary on contempt at 10:00 is absolutely beautifully worded. I’ve spent the entirety of my life trying to not give up on the world we live in, it’s difficult to happily live in a society that actively represses thought of this manner and I find some solace in seeing so many others who feel the same disconnect. I actually have the option and opportunity to “drop out” of society if I decide to, because my dad has built a community of like minded people who want away from it all. I’m lucky that I’ve got a family aware enough to create safe spaces away from society. But I haven’t left, and don’t intend to, because I feel that I can contribute my own experiences to others who are still lost in the web of mother culture and haven’t found meaning for themselves yet. Ultimately our society is not going to change course (currently headed directly towards disaster) unless a widespread awakening of psychedelic thought occurs, I can’t realistically expect that to happen but until that day comes I’m going to continue to do my best to spread positivity and share my experiences with anyone who is looking to make a change in their life
Yours are the most inciteful and informative videos, on the subject that I've viewed, thank you. You are a great ambassador for the therapeutic use of psychedelics. I've just ingested my first mushroom in 49 years, will follow up with your "How to Trip Alone" video. My fresh (just picked) golden teacher fruit, 11 grams (wet/fresh equive to maybe 1gram dry? But very blue with handling) cut up in an egg scramble, tasty. I sampled a small nibble as I added to the pan. Wasn't bad (in small amount), tasted like...mushrooms. I do hope your foray into our societies increased polarization doesn't turn off the less "open" folks, don't worry it won't make you a Democrat, but maybe you'll understand others, in knowing yourself.
Nail on the head in so many ways! Just one huge thanks, thanks for addressing the issue of “dropping out”. We do no good by taking our joy away from those that don’t feel it. I’d love to go live in the mountains but I’m here to help others. I can’t help others if I drop out. Just my personal journey but I feel it’s important to share.
Just wanted to add that a higher openness is not an only positive development. I would highly recommend watching Jordan Peterson talk about openness itself or psychedelics. Kudos for using the big five model for personality, instead of saying you're an INFP
Oh wow - I've seen a bunch of his earlier videos but didn't know he's spoken about psychedelics. P.S. the Myers Briggs Personality Inventory loosely corresponds to the Five Factor Model anyway ;) INFP = low extraversion, high openness, high agreeableness, low conscientiousness
I've grown into someone who doesn't want to change people. I've seen many people who want to "change the world". They want to change "society". They have an ideology, and they want to win over the masses to their ideology, to make over society to match their vision. Many institutions have become controlled by people who chose to have careers in those institutions specifically in order to advance their ideology. I've become more and more convinced that the right way to live is to find freedom, to be authentic, to learn to truly enjoy life, to do honest work that people value (hint: if people pay you good money to do something, it's because they really value what you are doing for them), to learn some things about this universe and the things in it, and to make new life (raise children) if you can (because life is worth continuing, and none of us is immortal yet).
I came for the subject, but I got caught up by your intelligence prowess haha. I love the way you think and debate these subjects. I only tried psilocybin once, on a mountain trip, and it was an experience. I would definitely try some more, maybe in microdosing as you said in another video, since I have some social anxiety and some prejudices that I am aware they're keeping my personality potential back. Thank you for approaching this subject in this intelligent and careful manner, keep it up!

Thanks for your thoughts. Here in France we are decades behind when it comes to cannabis let alone magic mushrooms regulations. I am at a point in my life where I am looking to be a better me, and become the best me I could possibly be. Turning 41 next month and bored with routine, I m asking myself what I could do to get passionate again and feel like my life is awesome again as in my 20' and 30'. From all I hear and read, microdosing could help. I might just experiment it and see what happens...
You can buy spores online... I know there are suppliers in the UK - not sure about France. Apparently it's not that difficult to grow your own spores! I do hope the laws will change though. Good luck!
je te comprends cher Antoine, je suis au même point, avec 10 ans de plus, la volonté de réenchantement vient de me saisir, je vais aller au bout de cet envie, j'espère garder cette volonté durablement (prochaine étape aya)
This made perfect sense to me. This is my exact perspective on our current system and the sacred nature and importance of human life and our connection and love towards each others and all things. Plant medicine is a gift from Mother Gaia. I have fallen heavy in the political world because human rights and the health of the planet matters immensely but the most change that can ever happen to improve this is the change within ourselves and our healing. I really appreciated this video! Thank you
Well personally, when I took LSD I saw the world I grew up in all my life shift from first person biases perspective to third person objectively unbiased I can’t unsee how it really is now. Also I imagined my life as a deck of cards and each decision influences the cards really I have no personality or ego I am “just a deck of cards in the wind”. I know that when people die the screen may cut off but the person in the audience is still sitting there. When I was on acid metaphors became literal I metaphorically told someone who was with me to step down a bit in their mind and the minute I said it I got the sensation of stepping down a ladder. That’s my experience
You are a beautiful soul thank you for sharing 😍 let's change the world's general population for the better. Keep spreading love and facts not just opinions.
I'm watching this video in the midst of an experience and you and your content are amazing. I have been apolitical for most of my life and you just opened me up to a new possibility. Thank you!
I generally feel tired the following day after a micro or normal dose. Old lens of depression sinks back in and the trip feels like a distant memory. It’s nice though to feel normal for a day but like Cinderella once the clock strikes twelve I’m back to the fog 😔.
Try microdosing 5 days on, 2 days off.. neuroplasticity should start to kick in after ~ month or so. Take a week off every now and then and listen to your body
@@JulianneKeu does this help if taking antidepressant for major depression, anxiety and fears from childhood trauma. I am so afraid of getting old and losing loved ones. What time of day is it taken?
You should consider applying for a TED talk :) You’re very well spoken on this subject & i think what you’re saying could potentially resonate with people on a global scale!
A little correction 1:12, it is not from West Africa but from centra Africa, this plant needs tropical weather to grow. I am 100% confident since I am Gabonese and we use Iboga as part of our ritual process to communicate with our ancestors 🙂. From wikipedia also : Tabernanthe iboga (iboga) is a perennial rainforest shrub native to Central Africa. Other than that your videos on the subject of psychedelic are really great 💓
Just mixed my first micro-dose brew. I'm excited to start this week. Thanks for the insight! It's what I needed to hear to finally go for it. I feel ya, it all made sense. The Extroversion and Neuroticism bit is what intrigues me the most.
From what I've read.. extroversion seems to increase and neuroticism seems to decrease for those who have depression... this medicine can bring you back to an "equilibrium" of sorts. I'm a huge personality junkie and when I was depressed, I tested as introvert with high levels of neuroticism. Now, I'm more extroverted (though still an ambivert) and I'm now on the lower end for neuroticism! Just my personal experience so take it for what it's worth!
These are phenomenal videos Julianne, it's so nice to find someone else that has independently made many of the same discoveries and has the courage to talk about contentious subjects like MDD and psychedelics -- people need to feel like they're not pariahs because they have depression. It sounds like you're probably ready for Ayahuasca? :)
I'm also interested in personality psychology. I've read quite a few books and research articles on it. I wish I still had the access to psychology journals that I had when I was a university student. I'm in the normal range on 4 out of the 5 personality traits, but I'm extremely introverted. I like introverts, and we're sometimes misunderstood by extraverts. But, being very introverted sometimes introduces a little difficulty into the romantic part of life with women. Some girls are convinced that they just cannot accept a guy who is an introvert, including girls who are introverts themselves! I believe they are mistaken, but this is a topic that I have to be very careful about, to avoid being rejected by a girl I like for the wrong reason, which definitely has happened a few times. Anyway, I've liked listening to your reports on the effects that psilocybin and LSD have had in your life. I haven't used any psychedelics myself, but I might try psilocybin mushrooms sometime.
I found a place in Vancouver, Washington that does psilocybin in ceremony. The place is called Sacred Heart Medicine Sanctuary. There is also a Ayahuasca church in Eugene, Oregon called Sacred Therapy and they do Ayahuasca in ceremony. If people are concerned about legalities they can legal work with plan medicines as both of these places are considered a church. Thus, they fall under the US constitution of freedom of religion and therefore can offer these plant medicines legally.
Hi Julianne, recently found your channel and just watched another video. You have such a beautiful soul and such a beautiful, wise and loving / “all is good” / no judgement way of speaking. Thanks so much for speaking up. You are an inspiration and also you are a mirror for parts in me that I would like to express more and more. I’m curious to starting microdosing myself. Or have a full on psychedelics experience some time; although I don’t know yet if I can overcome the challenge of completely letting go of control 😅. Sending you love ❤️
So... ya feel me?
totally...
Yup
Yup, great vid.

I could relate to your closing statement. I've wondered if the cost of there not being another McKenna style "stoned ape" period is that climate change leads to further mental health challenges, and civility becomes fragile due to scarcity and uncertainty. It may sound morbid, but I use plant medicine to help accept that climate change will be disruptive and destructive. I started using them that way after reading about some of the studies using mushrooms for end of life patients. Given where society is currently (at least in the US), we need a collective shift to think beyond old paradigms and beliefs to tackle future challenges. Psychedelics can facilitate such a shift.
I had 2 negative experiences with shrooms in the past 2 years, took it in an unfamiliar setting with strangers. This weekend I took it with my BF as my trip sitter and let me tell you: I saw the most beautiful things inside me. I've been depressed since I was 11, I didn't remember what it felt like to not hate myself. And now I can say with pride that I do love myself. I saw light inside of me, compassion, hope, things I had no idea were a part of me. I have found I am not only my dark side, and I'm thankful to psilocybin.
I 100% am not the same person anymore...and that's wonderful.
Wow that is what I am praying for
@@christineklutts4991 I hope you achieve it and wish good luck on your journey
Are you working currently or in school?
How much did you take ?
Good for you .. I understand .. same happened to me a long long time ago and the positive changes that occurred is too long to describe here . It makes me happy to hear others find better stuff for themselves that may not ever have happened otherwise
This is literally the exact Psilocybin RUclipsr I’ve been looking for. You’re doing badass work
I agree 100% I resonate with everything she says!!!☝️
I could even show this to my grandma lol
Yes, she is 🎉🎉🎉
Just imagine if this was taught in schools rather than the blanket statements about all recreational drugs being awful. This along with having a safe, legal way for individuals to experience psychedelics would be revolutionary. I really hope this can happen in my lifetime and I wonder how I can help bring about this change. Living in a population of people with greater openness can only be an improvement to everyone’s wellbeing. Really great video thank you!
I believe it will! This movement is picking up some serious traction... So many of us have woken up/ are waking up now.. Thank you for watching 🤗
I agree 💯, natural medicines have healed me more than any pharmaceuticals!
Thx to brave people like julianne I don’t feel so alone...still feel like I don’t fit in anywhere even more as I naturally flow to evolve.
it's like you guys never heard of The Manson Family. Every asshole I've ever known who took acid or mushrooms was an asshole afterward.
I worked in a High School in 2010's... I was supervising the "bad" kids. So many of those kids were taking Benzos.
Once psychedelics make it into mental health treatment, and heal people as much in 1 session as in 10 years of talking with a therapist, the results will speak for themselves and it will start rolling like a snowball. Controversial to say, but I think psychedelics is the only thing that can save humanity from all the self-centered bullshit we're currently stuck in, like how else are you going to make 8 billion people aware of the ego and all the pitfalls, make everyone meditate for 1 year with monks?
Mark my words, this channel is going to blowup!
Hopefully it does!
I had what I called manageable anxiety but it got worse with the pandemic. My cousin who suffers from PTSD suggested I try micro dosing. All the benefits you discuss happened and I’m so grateful I tried it. My cousin saved me. You have as well! I’m an Asian woman in my 30’s and mental health is rarely discussed in my community, I’m sure you know this as well. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I’m so happy I found your videos!
Hello Lin, two things that worked well for a bout of anxiety i got recently are:
- ensuring you get around 4500mg of potassium through fruit and vegetables every day (most people are deficient, and it can cause anxiety and tachycardia). After a week i was noticeably calmer.
- try box breathing for 10 minutes, it removes around 10-20 bpms for my heart.
all the best!

@@garysimone4977 I was obsessed about death, and would think about it on the daily, i would endlessly ruminate about bad experiences to the point of starting to weigh the pros and cons of continuing to live, i was a very angry person too. With the mushrooms, most of that decreased a lot. Dieing doesnt worry me as much, i feel that life is worth living, and i think i worry less about things that are not important.
As someone who grew up in the hood I can definitely say that psychedelics will for sure change your perspective thus a personality change but only for your own betterment as a person. Peace and love everyone ✌🏽
How so?
@@nmania3 you will see that there is a new side to you a more empathetic, understanding and loving side. This will broaden your perspective on life. You will no longer only see the world as it revolves around you but you will see that everyone is apart of a bigger picture and we are all uniquely significant to that design we call life. One is all, All is one. Peace and love ✌🏽
You are incredibly smart and your content deserves a much bigger platform, like TED
Totally agree 🎉 Lets get her there ❤
There was definetely a before, and after with magic mushrooms. I was contemplating the pros and cons of continuing with my life, and was obsessed with death, but after doing magic mushrooms, i stopped ruminating, and was able to process a significant amount of my past trauma.
Really happy this worked for you! As someone who has had (and sometimes still have) the same thoughts, I know how difficult it is to keep going some days. It's also difficult to admit it and talk about it openly. I'm really glad I read your comment, because I'm hoping to experience a similar outcome with my upcoming "adventure", and this gives me hope. I hope you're still doing well, and continue to get better every day. Thank you for sharing - doing so may very well have saved someone. 🙂

Totally get what you are saying and I have started to notice a shift in my outlook since micro dosing the past three weeks. I hope to continue to grow emotionally and also break away from my food addiction and isolation.
You'll get there. I know it. :) I think my next video will be on my 1 year microdosing update! I feel like I'm a completely different person now. Oh boy!
did it help with the food addiction?

@@srtboy123 I wanna know too!
Hello! I was wondering if it helped the food addiction? I know this is from 2 years ago, but ii do want to know. Thanks.
This is exactly how I feel but you explain it so much better that I could. This is how much I changed.
Just over a year a ago,I watched a film called the game changers ( highly recommend anyone to watch), and as someone who’s always been interested in health and my appearance I thought I’d give it a go. It was something that I was going to find extremely difficult as I’ve never enjoyed vegetables, but went for it anyway. I’ve stuck to it and since starting my microdose I find I feel so much more compassion to animals it actually makes me upset, that others won’t take the time to watch the film, because they literally know they will see things differently. I’m not saying for one minute I want people to change there diets, but instead just know the facts, And make your own decision. I feel like I’ve had that pill from the matrix and woken up.
I apologise for my bad grammar and spelling it’s never been a strong point.
All the best
same thing happened to me and my husband after working with mushrooms and watching that film! I feel a connection to animals, a Oneness that I never did before.
I definitely do. I'm not sure how old you are, but it looks we have about the same age. I say that because many discoveries you share about your own life seem aligned with discoveries I've been making here in my life. I'm sure many other followers would corroborate that perception with regards to their own experiences as they grow too. It's quite comforting to find people with equivalent backgrounds and compatible views about how things could be and how psychedelics fit in that schema. I've been through a lot of ups and downs with depression and, to make a long story short, psychedelics became a kind of last resort for me, together with a whole strategy that includes meditation, ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, journaling, psychotherapy, physical exercises and more. Lasting, significant, positive personality change is where the mushrooms come in, as I hope. Your content and influence have been quintessential in my quest for self-actualization. Thanks a lot and, once again, congrats on your video!
Oh wow.. thank you for this comment. I'm honored and humbled. Also guest... I'm in my late 20's ;) haha. But based on the accounts I've read from other people.. it seems the themes we learn on psychedelics are timeless. I also echo your sentiment about having a holistic approach to mental health.. I also meditate and practice intermittent fasting. Did psychotherapy for 4 years as well. Wishing you the best on your journey. You sound like you're already pretty well established on it.
❤Your both so❤beautifully so eloquent and articulate the vocabulary I understand everything you say in an energetic level first tho ❤that’s where it’s at frequency ❤healing the I’ll is absolutely what needs to happen but first ourselves
I personally come from a very traumatic childhood filled with loads and loads of abuse and until i took psychedelic's i didn't even know i could have any other perception than what i was already locked into. Psychedelic's have opened me up to what i am now and i would never change anything that has ever occured in my life. Thanks again for your video's and your insight that you have given people through your channel! 🙏💜 so much love 🤗
Moving to oregon this year. really happy they've essentially decriminalized magic mushrooms.
Everyone else needs to follow suit!! Can't believe cannabis is still illegal in so many states.
where can I buy it in Portland Oregon?
@@RESISTAGE magic mushrooms are also legal now in Oakland California, and maybe soon in Washington DC, if the leaders with their heads up their asses accept the majority votes.
I'm also thinking about moving to Oregon as well.
They did more than decriminalize, they legalized it medically!
Hi Julianne. First off I just want to say how much I appreciate you, the education and personal experiences that you provide to our world wide community. I’ve never been a person that liked the idea of taking pills. And of course I have taken prescription pills for my mental health prescribed by my doctor for my depression and anxiety. But it always bothered me. And fast forward in life when I became a nurse, I saw what addiction and drugs can do to people and the negative affects of it all. Holistic healing and natural resources have always been a interest to me since discussing them in nursing school. Because of past experiences in my life that have left scaring, pain, and hurt and a feeling that I have lost a part of me that I miss and desperately want back, I made the decision to try psychedelic mushrooms. Your journey, the research and information you’ve given has truly been an inspiration to me and has given me the courage to take this step. I have told a couple of very close friends who I trusted and thought would support me in this, but it didn’t go well with them. I explained to them the safety of this method and that this wasn’t some method of getting high. I explained this was a method to try and possibly regain a part of me that I lost and possibly gain more. Maybe look at life in ways I never have. I have never been a person that has done street drugs. I’ve never even smoke cigarettes. It just surprised me that when I mentioned I wanted to try this, my support in life abandoned me and treated me like I was this druggy trying to get high and escape life or somehow take the easy way out. So again I appreciate you and the education you have passed on.
Thank you so much for these videos. I just started microdosing and it’s going really well for me so far. Only been 3 days but yesterday specifically I felt really care-free, less anxious and much less depressed.
I am so glad I found this channel - you are articulate and speak from the heart, which is wonderful. I have become so disillusioned with all of our institutions - they are all deeply corrupt and are not going to reform themselves. I think you are right - change needs to start with individuals and ripple out, and psychedelics definitely could play a role in that. Thanks so much for your insights.
I consider myself an experienced psychonaut but I'm somewhat new to microdosing.
I'm enjoying your channel for the smart and peripheral perspective you bring to the subject.
Mush Love!
I love your channel.
When I was looking for online resources that reflect responsible use of psychedelics, yours became my favourite go to.
While I don’t judge the usual pot head white guy with dreads’ experience or stories, you channel reflects what I’m looking for, which is a more vulnerable source that is likened to dr Michael Pollan and James Fadiman talks.
Thank you so much and keep it up. 🙏🏼🎆
I laughed out loud when you said "usual pot head white guy with dreads" 😂 too funny. Thank you so much; reading this makes me feel encouraged. Michael Pollan and James Fadiman.. two individuals I deeply respect and admire. I've learned so much from them! I would never consider myself to be on their level (because I'm not).. but there is a role (I believe) in helping to disseminate the information they've shared. :)
You have a good soul! I can sense that the magic mushrooms has done you well just like me :)
Yes 🙌 I agree www.thecubecornermusic.com

As global citizens, universal mental health is obviously primary to our rational concerns.
Contempt is indeed one of the worst perspectives to cultivate, and I think it is one that has practically taken over our society. Thank you for pointing that out.
@Mycotenn_
Hey! You're super well spoken, and I like that you brought up openness and nuanced thinking. I think a lot of what hinders western society today is the tendency to think of things in extremes, which encourages fear, and also constricts open communication.

Just found your channel! I love how your videos are organized, very clear and concise (can you tell I’m neurotic). Also a big advocate for psychedelics, it’s nice to find someone who can explain it efficiently without sounding like a huge hippie 💕
I think I left this message on a more recent video, but I LOVE what you’re doing! I’ll add, I’m finding myself sharing your videos with more and more people because they’re so relevant to so many different lives being lived. I appreciate you
It is amazing the change that we can experience and it's also interesting to me how many people resist that change. I work in the research community and it is fascinating to me how people who are so adept at change tend to be so good at those types of environments. You're an interesting person and I feel like we're on a similar time frame as far as our psychedelic experience. Having just discovered your videos I think that it's very fascinating hearing your perspective on these things.
Thank you so much! This means a lot coming from someone in the research community. To your point about people who are adept at change being so good in research environments... to me, being a researcher takes a certain level of risk-lovingness (if you will). It's the only way to do good work - to be willing to risk being proven wrong.
I totally feel you. I've had 3 experiences in my life with psychedelic. Mushrooms. Reggae on the river in Humboldt county was amazing. When I took this vacation I had some huge stress building up in my life and I was talked into going at the last minute. I just wanted to get out of town and had no idea what I was in for. It turned I to a spiritual vacation that I e never experienced anything like it before. I was open minded so I was open to it. Amazing. I sat by a river looking at the trees... reggae beats in the background.. slightly distant. I felt like the top of my head opened up and all my troubles... anxieties... disappointments... and all negativity just flowed away with the river. I had no idea I was being healed... or even needed to be. Until I was. I'm very excited for microdosing. It's in the mail.
Big 5 Openness correlates strongly with Jung's function of Intuition (for example in the MBTI). I find calling it Intuition instead of Openness is a lot clearer: it's a function of direct perception and a source of creativity, of seeing what otherwise can't be see with reason or the senses. Hence by opening that function you're able to solve inner problems which are otherwise inaccessible...That's Jung from the 1920's, imagine what he'd know if he had shrooms!
Yup. INTP here!
Thank you for this video. We need more rational content creators like you for a psychedelic revolution! :)
Thank you
Dig your authenticity and found your vids thought provoking. Kinda like chatting with a good friend around a kitchen table

With all the videos out there I find yours one of the most helpful. It is simply precise, intelligent, pragmatic and to the point. You are most definitely not talking out of your ass (made me laugh, I wish I could talk so well!) In any case I agree with all the positive comments here and now have you on my list of keepers to follow. I have made the conscious decision to begin with microdosing soon as my emotional healing has come to a standstill. Keep sharing what you know, you do it very well. :)
I agree with you on everything you said about changing the world by healing individuals who are emotionally ill. Our society is the mirror of each one of us, so if we want to make the world a better place, we need to heal the people. I truly appreciate your content, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! You motivated me to try and make things move in my community concerning the stigma on psychedelics.
Such a wonderful, open, and elegant sharing of information. In my crazy life, you appear as the voice of reasoned calm. Thanks!
Your voice is so calming. I am so thankful I found your channel. I had no idea this was even a thing! Thank you so much for making these videos. I do have one question….Do you know if this type of therapy is dangerous for addicts?

Another awesome insight on psychedelics. Amazing weekly vid my friend.
You are really awesome and your thoughts and arguments in this video is something I can really relate and agree with. Keep doing what you're doing. Much love and appreciation from a swedish follower.
Can’t find ur reply to reply back too anymore. But yeah; I agree with what you just said about economics and monopoly busting. I assume that goes without saying because the only political ideology that suggests otherwise is anarcho-capitalist level libertarians which is pretty rare. Even the right wings favorite celebrity economists like Friedman, Sowell, Manikew, etc. all agree with what you said.
You suggested you were annoyed at my comment. I’m super chill rn making (for me) fun conversation. Maybe you assumed a tone that wasn’t there which is why text is a crappy form of communication.
Love the channel keep up the good work! You do such a good job of picking topics to cover. I’d love to hear about you do a 5 Me0 retreat!! Would be crazy. I can’t decide if I want to go on a Jhana Meditation retreat or a shroom/toad/ayahuasca type retreat first. I feel like I should learn metta too though so I can deal with anything that might pop up during a plant/toad ceremony. Learning the Jhanas is so awesome though I really want to focus on that. Wish I had more time to learn all the meditations haha.
Not only do you have a good soul but definitely you are a vessel that's being used by nature to convey the truth and the truth will set us free.

so happy that I found your channel. You articulate this controversial subject very well!
Just discovered your channel. Best MD resource I've found so far. Direct, useful, insightful. I've recently started on this journey and it's been one of the best things ever for me--your channel is a companion. Many thanks and greetings from Australia
You make a lot of very great points! I'm definitely on the same page and wish more people were open to ideas like this. Since my first experience with mushrooms it has changed my entire outlook and the way I engage with people.
That's wonderful! Thank you for the feedback :) If I may - have you taken a heroic dose? I would love to work my way up to it... Judging by everyone's accounts... it should be profound
@@JulianneKeu I haven't quite worked up the nerve yet...last few times at 3.5-4g dose I get lots of visual and audible effects. Visuals were ok but scary the first time and the sounds were overwhelming but interactive. Im thinking I have a very low tolerance maybe because my husband had none of that, he was just happy and easily amused. But for me, emotions had flavors, like remembering how your favorite pizza tastes. It was also very spiritually profound and euphoric near the end.
I have enjoyed your comments and shared experience on psychedelics immensely. I have had lifelong depression and though antidepressants have helped, they haven't changed my overall outlook. Everything you have said here and on other videos of yours has validated what I have read and surmised by myself. Thank you so much! If you're interested I can let you know how it works out for me. Thanks again.
@mycotenn_
I am so impressed with your content. My research into microdosing has led me to your information. My objectives are motivated by a desire to address some legacy issues I have experienced related to focus, creativity and symptoms of depression that I feel have been holding me back for decades. I have so much more potential "me" to unlock! I am about to embark on a new journey at a point in life when most might be considering dialing it back. I am energised by your intellect and first hand experiences.
Like a clensing breath, you speak from the soul and it is easy to hear and understand, kind of makes one glow... thanks Julianne
Only recently discovered your RUclips channel because I was researching psilocybin and was pleasantly surprised by your content. It's very thorough and informative, not to mention well researched. So, thank you for your content and for your time, devotion and passion to furthering yours and our understanding of the positive impacts that psychedelics can and do have on people and communities.
Today, the mushroom compound is being used in clinical trials for end-of-life anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, addiction, eating disorders and other conditions with unprecedented success, and psilocybin-assisted therapy has been given FDA “breakthrough therapy” status as a treatment for depression.

Has the best record of good strains n they will teach you all you need to know before dispensing...you gon be grateful
Your message is fantastic!!!!
I really resonate with your thoughts on focusing helping people heal to create change in society. My spiritual journey has brought me to this idea, before trying psychedelics (but my research and intuition on those, I agree they are a vital tool for healing the collective). Just started my macrodosing journey and glad to have found your channel :)
Excellent content and indeed a valuable contribution - I've recently begun a program of microdosing and the effects are profound. I'm hungry to learn more about this and then I stubbled upon your channel.
Thankyou. You are becoming the smartest, for lack of better word, person that i cherish for the content you provide. For me, you are getting on the level of Jordan Peterson.
You rock 💫 !! And you don’t sound out there with your evolved political/ social perspective. You have the same vision as a lot of people, famous and not famous. Bob Marley, Martin Luther King, the Dali Lama and a whole ton of people throughout history and time share the same ideas as you, so don’t be embarrassed. It’s humanitarianism 101 to see people and (animals too 🐹) as innately divine & valuable. It is difficult to see people angry and divided (because) I came into this world with my DNA set for idealism, and the world was not always that way, but many people were. I have had both life changing mystical experiences and life changing traumas, so thankfully have the understanding that if I’m under water, in my shadows and wounds, there is always a way back to my inner sanctuary.
That is priority number #1, and my first job to have a positive impact on the world in a way that is true to my gifts and nature 🌱🍄🌱
Edit: (sorry for all the edits)
You are articulate and intelligent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights. I am new to this psychedelic healing but I have hope .
I'm here to testify that i totally got you, well thought of and fluidly articulated, chapeau bas jeune femme !
Nicely done. Very succinct and informative. Thank you.
Great video, thank you for putting content like this out in the world. I believe that the human race would be much better off if we all were more educated and aware of the psychedelic. The commentary on contempt at 10:00 is absolutely beautifully worded. I’ve spent the entirety of my life trying to not give up on the world we live in, it’s difficult to happily live in a society that actively represses thought of this manner and I find some solace in seeing so many others who feel the same disconnect. I actually have the option and opportunity to “drop out” of society if I decide to, because my dad has built a community of like minded people who want away from it all. I’m lucky that I’ve got a family aware enough to create safe spaces away from society. But I haven’t left, and don’t intend to, because I feel that I can contribute my own experiences to others who are still lost in the web of mother culture and haven’t found meaning for themselves yet. Ultimately our society is not going to change course (currently headed directly towards disaster) unless a widespread awakening of psychedelic thought occurs, I can’t realistically expect that to happen but until that day comes I’m going to continue to do my best to spread positivity and share my experiences with anyone who is looking to make a change in their life
Yours are the most inciteful and informative videos, on the subject that I've viewed, thank you. You are a great ambassador for the therapeutic use of psychedelics. I've just ingested my first mushroom in 49 years, will follow up with your "How to Trip Alone" video. My fresh (just picked) golden teacher fruit, 11 grams (wet/fresh equive to maybe 1gram dry? But very blue with handling) cut up in an egg scramble, tasty. I sampled a small nibble as I added to the pan. Wasn't bad (in small amount), tasted like...mushrooms. I do hope your foray into our societies increased polarization doesn't turn off the less "open" folks, don't worry it won't make you a Democrat, but maybe you'll understand others, in knowing yourself.
Nail on the head in so many ways!
Just one huge thanks, thanks for addressing the issue of “dropping out”. We do no good by taking our joy away from those that don’t feel it. I’d love to go live in the mountains but I’m here to help others. I can’t help others if I drop out. Just my personal journey but I feel it’s important to share.
Just wanted to add that a higher openness is not an only positive development. I would highly recommend watching Jordan Peterson talk about openness itself or psychedelics.
Kudos for using the big five model for personality, instead of saying you're an INFP
Oh wow - I've seen a bunch of his earlier videos but didn't know he's spoken about psychedelics. P.S. the Myers Briggs Personality Inventory loosely corresponds to the Five Factor Model anyway ;) INFP = low extraversion, high openness, high agreeableness, low conscientiousness
I've grown into someone who doesn't want to change people. I've seen many people who want to "change the world". They want to change "society". They have an ideology, and they want to win over the masses to their ideology, to make over society to match their vision. Many institutions have become controlled by people who chose to have careers in those institutions specifically in order to advance their ideology.
I've become more and more convinced that the right way to live is to find freedom, to be authentic, to learn to truly enjoy life, to do honest work that people value (hint: if people pay you good money to do something, it's because they really value what you are doing for them), to learn some things about this universe and the things in it, and to make new life (raise children) if you can (because life is worth continuing, and none of us is immortal yet).
I came for the subject, but I got caught up by your intelligence prowess haha. I love the way you think and debate these subjects. I only tried psilocybin once, on a mountain trip, and it was an experience. I would definitely try some more, maybe in microdosing as you said in another video, since I have some social anxiety and some prejudices that I am aware they're keeping my personality potential back.
Thank you for approaching this subject in this intelligent and careful manner, keep it up!
I have just started my microdosing journey today. I am so so excited after seeing this video! Subscribed, thank you 😊

I love you. Thank you so much for this. Big hugs.

Yesss! You said something that touched me, "healing for the masses" thats what this world needs. Everything was so well explained
Today, the mushroom compound is being used in clinical trials for end-of-life anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, addiction, eating disorders and other conditions with unprecedented success, and psilocybin-assisted therapy has been given FDA “breakthrough therapy” status as a treatment for depression.

Has the best record of good strains n they will teach you all you need to know before dispensing...you gon be grateful
Thanks for your thoughts. Here in France we are decades behind when it comes to cannabis let alone magic mushrooms regulations. I am at a point in my life where I am looking to be a better me, and become the best me I could possibly be. Turning 41 next month and bored with routine, I m asking myself what I could do to get passionate again and feel like my life is awesome again as in my 20' and 30'. From all I hear and read, microdosing could help. I might just experiment it and see what happens...
You can buy spores online... I know there are suppliers in the UK - not sure about France. Apparently it's not that difficult to grow your own spores! I do hope the laws will change though. Good luck!
je te comprends cher Antoine, je suis au même point, avec 10 ans de plus, la volonté de réenchantement vient de me saisir, je vais aller au bout de cet envie, j'espère garder cette volonté durablement (prochaine étape aya)
This made perfect sense to me. This is my exact perspective on our current system and the sacred nature and importance of human life and our connection and love towards each others and all things. Plant medicine is a gift from Mother Gaia. I have fallen heavy in the political world because human rights and the health of the planet matters immensely but the most change that can ever happen to improve this is the change within ourselves and our healing. I really appreciated this video! Thank you
You deserve more subscribers. I hope the algorithm gods bless you soon
Testify! I agree with everything you are saying! Let's do this.

Well personally, when I took LSD I saw the world I grew up in all my life shift from first person biases perspective to third person objectively unbiased I can’t unsee how it really is now. Also I imagined my life as a deck of cards and each decision influences the cards really I have no personality or ego I am “just a deck of cards in the wind”. I know that when people die the screen may cut off but the person in the audience is still sitting there. When I was on acid metaphors became literal I metaphorically told someone who was with me to step down a bit in their mind and the minute I said it I got the sensation of stepping down a ladder. That’s my experience
You are a beautiful soul thank you for sharing 😍 let's change the world's general population for the better. Keep spreading love and facts not just opinions.
I'm watching this video in the midst of an experience and you and your content are amazing. I have been apolitical for most of my life and you just opened me up to a new possibility. Thank you!
@Mycotenn_
Thank you so much for all your videos. I am trying to heal from OTSD, anxiety and depression, and your videos help a lot.

I generally feel tired the following day after a micro or normal dose. Old lens of depression sinks back in and the trip feels like a distant memory. It’s nice though to feel normal for a day but like Cinderella once the clock strikes twelve I’m back to the fog 😔.
Try microdosing 5 days on, 2 days off.. neuroplasticity should start to kick in after ~ month or so. Take a week off every now and then and listen to your body
@@JulianneKeu does this help if taking antidepressant for major depression, anxiety and fears from childhood trauma. I am so afraid of getting old and losing loved ones. What time of day is it taken?
I hope you're getting enough sleep, exercise, and healthy food. Those things are all essential!
@@georginarandolphgirl66 no. You should not take anything else with your prescriptions.
@@thomaswilson9254 why? what would happen? I know people who take antidepressants and microdose to wean down on meds.
You should consider applying for a TED talk :)
You’re very well spoken on this subject & i think what you’re saying could potentially resonate with people on a global scale!
profound video...You're right about this medicine I'm veterans and this medicine has help me with my PTSD...
I was on a podcast recently w/ a veteran and she microdoses too! It really helps with her migraine attacks. Also thank you for your service
appreciate the love Julianne..Thank-you for support...its to bad I only had 10 tours...lol
A little correction 1:12, it is not from West Africa but from centra Africa, this plant needs tropical weather to grow. I am 100% confident since I am Gabonese and we use Iboga as part of our ritual process to communicate with our ancestors 🙂. From wikipedia also : Tabernanthe iboga (iboga) is a perennial rainforest shrub native to Central Africa. Other than that your videos on the subject of psychedelic are really great 💓
Just mixed my first micro-dose brew. I'm excited to start this week. Thanks for the insight! It's what I needed to hear to finally go for it.
I feel ya, it all made sense. The Extroversion and Neuroticism bit is what intrigues me the most.
From what I've read.. extroversion seems to increase and neuroticism seems to decrease for those who have depression... this medicine can bring you back to an "equilibrium" of sorts. I'm a huge personality junkie and when I was depressed, I tested as introvert with high levels of neuroticism. Now, I'm more extroverted (though still an ambivert) and I'm now on the lower end for neuroticism! Just my personal experience so take it for what it's worth!
1/trauma very interesting concept but i like your matheematics and your on screen demeanor!
Love your thoughts on polarization.
These are phenomenal videos Julianne, it's so nice to find someone else that has independently made many of the same discoveries and has the courage to talk about contentious subjects like MDD and psychedelics -- people need to feel like they're not pariahs because they have depression. It sounds like you're probably ready for Ayahuasca? :)
Thank you! And yes - funny that you mention it... I just got my hands on some ayahuasca :)
🥰 Your awesome ~ Thank-you for the very informative content,... the timing is perfect as I commence my microdosing journey 🍄 !!
You are all ears... and heart
you deserve more viewers thank you so much im so excited to micro dose with your guidance
I'm also interested in personality psychology. I've read quite a few books and research articles on it. I wish I still had the access to psychology journals that I had when I was a university student.
I'm in the normal range on 4 out of the 5 personality traits, but I'm extremely introverted. I like introverts, and we're sometimes misunderstood by extraverts. But, being very introverted sometimes introduces a little difficulty into the romantic part of life with women. Some girls are convinced that they just cannot accept a guy who is an introvert, including girls who are introverts themselves! I believe they are mistaken, but this is a topic that I have to be very careful about, to avoid being rejected by a girl I like for the wrong reason, which definitely has happened a few times.
Anyway, I've liked listening to your reports on the effects that psilocybin and LSD have had in your life. I haven't used any psychedelics myself, but I might try psilocybin mushrooms sometime.
I stand behind your vision
Beautifully said. Thank you for what you're doing.
Somehow the 60's and 70's made people love or hate drugs. Now those people are fading away, people are starting to realize >> what was the big deal ?
I found a place in Vancouver, Washington that does psilocybin in ceremony. The place is called Sacred Heart Medicine Sanctuary. There is also a Ayahuasca church in Eugene, Oregon called Sacred Therapy and they do Ayahuasca in ceremony. If people are concerned about legalities they can legal work with plan medicines as both of these places are considered a church. Thus, they fall under the US constitution of freedom of religion and therefore can offer these plant medicines legally.
Hi Julianne, recently found your channel and just watched another video.
You have such a beautiful soul and such a beautiful, wise and loving / “all is good” / no judgement way of speaking.
Thanks so much for speaking up. You are an inspiration and also you are a mirror for parts in me that I would like to express more and more.
I’m curious to starting microdosing myself. Or have a full on psychedelics experience some time; although I don’t know yet if I can overcome the challenge of completely letting go of control 😅.
Sending you love ❤️
😀 You aint just talkin out your ass! Well researched filmed and edited. GOOD job!
